A Prairie Home Companion  — 

I have been going down to my parents home on Saturdays to help out and drive back in the early evenings. I like to like to listen to the radio, but was getting tired of the music I was listening too so I thought I would do the old flipping of the stations. 

I have seen the movie "A Prairie Home Companion" and knew that it was a old radio show, but didn't know it was still on. So I thought I would take a listen in and see what is was about via the radio. 

I am hooked!  I laughed I cried and now a huge fan of this show. It airs on Saturday nights (Please check your local Public radio for listings or their schedule on this web site: http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/). (you can even listen from their website and bring up older shows too.   In the Milwaukee/Appleton, Wisconsin (where I listen) it is on Sat nights live, re-broad casts on Sunday.

This show is a variety show with humor, music (from the show and artist invited), poems and much more every single week. Garrison Keillor, author and host of "A Prairie Home Companion" with his unique voice will entertain and show you the picture of what is going on in words. He will also keep you posted on what is going on at Lake Wobegon, Minnesota.

The show does travel and you can also see it live (someday I would really like to do that).
